The reaction of nitric oxide with ZSM-5 zeolite ion-exchanged by Co(II) (Co-ZSM-5) has been studied by electron spin resonance (ESR), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) and diffuse reflectance ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy. When dehydrated Co-ZSM-5 reacts at room temperature with nitric oxide, the ESR spectrum of Co(II) at g = 5.5, which is only observable below 45 K, is greatly reduced and a new 59 Co hyperfine octet forms at g,,g = 2.11. The overall Co(II) ESR intensity decreases by about 50% which suggests formation of some diamagnetic cobalt complex. Mononitrosyl cobalt complexes such as Co(I)-NO or less probably Co(III)-(NO) -are suggested as possible precursors of a dintrosyl cobalt complex. The octet indicates hyperfine interaction with "Co and is associated with a cobalt dinitrosyl complex. FTIR bands at 1813 and 1896 cm -' confirm a dinitrosyl species and a broad band from 1600-1800 cm -' is tentatively interpreted as a mononitrosyl species. The visible spectrum for dehydrated Co-ZSM-5 shows a tetrahedral Co(II) band from 500-700 nm with three components which disappears after NO adsorption at room temperature. We suggest that Co(0)-(NO)2 + forms after NO adsorption onto Co(II)-ZSM-5 zeolite on the basis of ESR and ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
